The Unofficial Patch is still ultimately worth it for the other 80% of things that it does fix. You can un-autism the patch with the following:

Special Edition doesn't look at all like what Skyrim was meant to look like. Todd was afraid the rerelease wouldn't seem like an upgrade if the game's visuals were the same (the upgrade was more under the hood than anything else ie upgrading the engine from x32 to x64 which made the game far more stable and better to mod) so the entire game was made warmer with the contrast cranked up. OG Skyrim is way colder, more blue, more cold. So either play the original release or install this mod that brings the original ambience back:
